The Leafs Are Blown Away by Momma Gouche

Who would beleaf that the victory celebrations, that many ardent Toronto Maple Leaf fans planned, would have last minute cancellations. Within 9 minutes the Boston Bruins decimated a 4-1 lead the Leafs held and in OT claimed the victory of round one. Though, in the beginning, I didn’t believe they would get past 5 games; here they were, with a 3 goal lead. I started to think that maybe they could ace this one. The second goal for the Bruins still didn’t pose too big a threat, but 2 goals … in less than a minute … tied the game, and I knew the Leafs were out of steam. Patrice Bergeron got the tying goal and the winner in OT. The second round begins Tuesday night … without the Toronto Maple Leafs. Several people have told me that it is typical for the Leafs to blow away an almost sure win.
